New Amenities

/in /by

YHC took the helm at Sheepdog this morning with a carefully planned beatdown to target all areas and encourage PAX to push eachother. New amenities, the track and the bleachers, were used, and no PAX were left behind. In addition, a few stayed for an extra few minutes to finish the prescribed routine. All good things F3 this morning!

FNG’s: None
Warm Up: A quick mosey to the basketball court (also new) for Good Mornings, Sir Fazio’s, Hillbillies, Imperial Walkers, and Frankenstein’s (all x10 IC).
The Workout: PAX paired up to push eachother and pairs were instructed to wait until each PAX in their group moved on to the next phase of exercises. Again…nobody left behind! 10 Rounds total of exercises. Each round began with 5 burpees and ended in alternating fashion with either a 400m run or a 5x up/down the bleachers.

The rounds were as follows:

10 Absolutions

20 Wheelbarrow Derkins

30 Star Jumps

40 Hand-Release Merkins

50 WW2

60 Monkey Humpers

70 Dips

80 Dying Cockroach

FNGs: Floppy Disk
Warm Up: Side Straddle Hops, Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hill Billies, Wind Mills, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps, 5 Burpees OYO
The Workout: YHC’s infatuation with a simple-but-effective routine of upper/lower/core/repeat continues. (PAX: “Didn’t we do this on Tuesday?” YHC: “Maybe. Try to keep up!”)
PAX took a trip down the Jeff Wells Trail and made stops at ever other light pole for an exercise. Merkins, Squats, Lunges, WWIIs, Mountain Climbers and Shoulder Taps were all performed in some variation. Either 10 or 20 counts (some of those lunges take too long for a 20 count). We picked up the six along the way. The trail proved just the right length to get us back in time for Mary.
Mary: LBCs, American Hammers, Homer-to-Marge and Pickle Pounders. Finished up with some yoga.
Announcements: F3 South Wake Family Picnic at Harris Lake (July 30th), July 5th Holly Springs fireworks needs volunteers
